Sarah and family, thank you very much for letting me be part of your lives over the last year. I enjoyed talking with you and your mother and will think of you often. Peggy was a woman after my heart....who could resist a great chocolate donut!
Sarah, believe in yourself and follow your dreams. If you ever need anything just give me a call.

My thoughts go out to Peggy's family at this difficult time. I have many fond memories of Peggy from the years we worked together at Mickies. I especially remember all the times we laughed together as she always loved a good story. She was one awesome waitress...she could take that whole restaurant herself! I still think of her often.
